Georgie Gardner reveals miscarriage heartbreak

Georgie Gardner has spoken candidly about suffering a miscarriage while trying for a third child.

The Today news anchor said she was "absolutely rocked" by the ordeal.

"Some women I know have miscarriages and are very accepting and say that's OK, that's nature taking its course but, my god, it really took me to a very deep and dark place actually," Gardner, 49, said in an interview with website Show and Tell.

Gardner, who has a nine-year-old girl and seven-year-old boy with husband Tim Baker, said the pain of miscarriages is a subject people could talk about more openly.

"I think there are a lot of women and men walking around feeling a real ache in their heart about losing babies, I really do," she said.

Gardner, who recently announced she is leaving Today after seven years to spend more time with her kids, revealed she miscarried around the nine or 10-week mark of her pregnancy.
